INFO

We will be attempting a few new changes to the way the golf course is played moving forward.  Cups on the greens have been flipped over and a small piece of pipe has been installed inside the cup.  This will not change our rules against touching a flag stick.  This will allow for flags sticks to be a little more firm in the cup but will still prevent a member from putting their hand in the cup.

Tee markers are out on both course; do not touch or move them.

Trash cans with liners are in place at all of the water cooler stations (still no water coolers). 

Finally, please don't walk up the faces of bunkers (unless you have a certified sherpa as your caddie).
